As retailers and brands chase low labor manufacturing costs around the globe, they increase their exposure to workplace safety, unfair labor and wage practices, and other social and political risks. Manufacturers must provide the visibility and reporting necessary to comply with customer requirements and growing governmental regulation.

These mandates drive companies to seek new technologies and processes that offer the significant and sustainable improvements necessary to compete in a globally competitive business environment.

BlueCherry Shop Floor Control quickly identifies and isolates quality problems that impact production schedules and costs.

“BlueCherry Shop Floor Control [formally Leadtec] had been on my radar for many years due to its proven track record. Having purchased ACS years back, I have always had great respect for CGS and the quality of their solutions and services and BlueCherry SFC is no different.”
